Natanael Homa

Natanael Homa (died 1 October 1943) was an elderly Danish Jew who lived in Copenhagen during World War II. On 1 October 1943, Rosh Hashanah, German troops began to round up Jews, and a Wehrmacht officer entered Homa's house, walked up the stairs, and told Homa that he was coming with the German soldiers. Homa responded by saying, "No, my friend; you are coming with me," and he proceeded to shoot the officer in the chest before being gunned down by two German troops with MP40 submachine guns.
